23ericgarner Thank God they did

The music pays tribute to the Grand Review which marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. on May 25 & 26, 1865. First day was the Army of the Potomac all turned out in new uniforms & orderly ranks. Day 2 were Sherman's Westerners -- the Armies of Georgia & The Tennessee -- the Bummers with tattered uniforms & slouch hats & contraband cooks & pioneers all with the easy step of men who had marched 1,000 miles while the bands played a new tune --- "Marching Through Georgia."

Some of the best Union civil war songs ever.

The beginning is like "move out of the way here comes the cavalry"

This was a parade in which the U.S.Colored Troops were not allowed to march. Despite helping the Union to win the war a separate parade was later held in Penn.for these brave veterans of USCT 

Hurrah! I had the commemoration albums too, and wore them out listening to them hundreds of times. Thanks!!

What an amazing compilation !!!!!

ABSOLUTY AWESOME

Nicely done. The brief bit at 5:14 is indeed the Invalid Corps.

Too bad "Hold On, Abraham" (3:16) recordings are really hard to come by on YT! It's a pretty cool song! :D

Lincoln saw it all as an (internal rebellion) "within" the Union. There was no "Confederate" soverign political entity. Only a nation troubled by a element out of the control of the laws of those states. He really saw things that way. You could keep the slaves,(but in only the very early first slave states, not the new states!), because that was in the Constitutional area of state laws of the Union! ....The whole thing is more complex than I thought.

So many of the melodies are based on Irish folk songs.

And a few Irish rebel songs ended up being based on Civil War songs... it comes full circle. Why I have no idea.

There's another little bit at 5:55 or thereabouts, The Invalid Corps for sure!

Anyone knows what's the name of this song/march in the start of the North and South Amiga game?

Do you have the full version of "Hold on Abraham"? I really like that song, if you can give it to me id be very grateful!

Terrorism doesn't have to be supported by a government to be terrorism. While Davis was embarrassed, Governor Lubbock of Texas supported the action and the state government condoned it.

Which song plays 4:14 to 5:20 ??? feedback appreciated !

Hello, any chance of all the songs being uploaded in full? You can't find it anywhere on the internet and the only option is to buy the vinyl but that may not be an option for everyone. The music is so good that it would be a shame for it to disappear.

Hi there! I recommend trying to use "Shazam" on the songs, and seeing if that works! :D

These fragments are how it was off the original Columbia record. It was the last track on the vinyl disk.

ps: Lincoln did agree to one request from Davis. That ones fighting for the illegally ceceded states would not be treated as common criminals by the government of the Union. This was the official deal. but I know crap happened on both sides in those camps. Sad.

Most militia units, before the War, were military marching and drill social clubs, and they could pretty much design their own uniforms. Cadet Grey was popular, North and South, and blue and buff Revolutionary uniforms were also quite popular. The rifles they carried were next best thing to surplus, from the Army, bores badly pitted from firing blanks, and not cleaning them...

Did they really play these tunes or are these tunes from the 20 th century but they use them for civil war

Most Civil War regiments, both sides, had marching bands. They would serenade each other, between battles. All these songs were popular, at the time.

The band members served as stretcher bearers during battle. One regimental colonel would assign defaulters to the band as punishment. The regiment took pride in having the worst sounding band in the division.

Lincolns words>>"This union is indestructable"! ...........If he had aknowledged the "Davis Republic" then it would be an admission that the "Confederacy" was a true political soverign entity. IE: A genuine new nation divorced from the union. And Lincoln could not let it happen!...............Slavery was the last thing on anyones minds at that time.
